LRF4N Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Sorry if you guys are getting bored of these lol but this ones a bit different As you may remember I had an accident a year and a half ago and knocked down a 3m high sign in the process All this time later iv had a bill through from the city council at over £1100.... No breakdown of costs but they did outline what's included in the bill. Including "erect, maintain and remove traffic control layout- temp signs" This was done by 911 Recovery- the recovery company who does all the work on behalf of the council. I don't remember them putting any signs up, if they did it would be a small sign on the ground, lifted off the back of the truck and removed as they left- 20 mins or so I'm assuming they sent the council a bill and they've forwarded it onto me with more commission on top Payment due in 2 weeks Where do I start?

GappySmeg Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Were you insured when you hit the sign? If so, you've paid your excess any other expenses are down to your insurer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yea I was fully insured. But you know what insurance companies are like, always funding an excuse not to pay. I think they will dig their heels in as I'm not with them anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsexr Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Just pass your insurance details on to the council and let them get on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Pass the entire bill to the insurer you were with when you had the accident. Simple as that. It's not a fine, it's an invoice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Let's hope it's as simple as you guys say. It's never as simple as that when I deal with insurance companies Il sort it on Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
